[PRQ#48138] Deletion Request for ardentryst
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 29 Jan '24

29 Jan '24

a821 [1] filed a deletion request for ardentryst [2]: I propose to delete this package: It depends on python2 and broken according to last comment (quoted below). Upstream has moved to python3 (ca. 2020), but unfortunately there are no tagged releases since 2016, so users are better using the git version which is better maintained. I don't believe makes sense to keep this around in a broken state, not to mention it's orphan. @kleintux wrote: [...] But this version is python2 and broken. I made a new package with the git version. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ardentryst-git/ [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/a821/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/ardentryst/

[PRQ#47524] Deletion Request for notify-osd-customizable
by notify＠aur.archlinux.org 28 Jan '24

28 Jan '24

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for notify-osd-customizable [2]: Abandoned patched pkg from 2018; tarball created in 2016. Though there is a third-party upgraded patch from 2020, but the accompanying configuration utility, notifyconf, is a broken orphan Qt4 build, whose upstream is discontinued since 2013. Without the latter, there is no point in trying to revive this PKGBUILD. AUR/notifyconf's last comment is from 2013, and for notify-osd- customizable, there was one user comment in 2016 and one in 2020, mentioning a bug in this application's functionality. For the later, previous maintainer replied that they no longer use this package and cannot offer assistance or bugfix. Arch repo still carries the original Ubuntu variant of notify-osd. Safe to delete this deprecated pkg. [1] https://aur.archlinux.org/account/MarsSeed/ [2] https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/notify-osd-customizable/
